Man, that sucks! But im glad to see you ridding yourself of windows. Any thoughts on a Linux switch? Im running Mandrake Linux and it supports RAID and all the other good stuff windows does with none of the garbage associated with windows, Anyways, good luck with your system restore.

Edit:im a tard, didnt read the Lycoris site well enough congrats on the step up to a Linux based OS.

i'm buring mandrake 9.2 and the lycrosis cd's right now... im going to try the Ly first, and see how it goes.

i'm really woried about my dsl card being driverless. as it is, i had to hack my registry to get it to work with Xp.
on their webste, it clearly states, not compatible with windows Xp. lol and guess who got it to work?

Geez B... nothing ever goes smoothly for you. nfn is coming up to LI in May to attend a wedding, what about an install meet at your place to finish the sol? Or flatbed everything down to Clayton's place?
